UK To Recognise Palestine State In September - Unless... by apoti(op): 5:14pm On Jul 29, 2025*

The British government has said it will officially recognise Palestine as a state in September - unless Israel meets certain conditions.

The UK follows France, which recently said it would also recognise Palestine as a state before the UN conference in September.

Ireland, Spain and Norway all officially recognised a Palestinian state last year.

Britain has long maintained that recognising Palestine as a state must be on condition of direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

More than 200 MPs, including Labour chair of the Commons foreign affairs committee Emily Thornberry, have called on Foreign Secretary David Lammy to immediately recognise a Palestinian state.

Other Labour ministers had said recognising Palestine as a state would undermine Britain's position as an impartial broker in the war.

Ministers have previously said they were committed to recognising a Palestinian state but would only do so "at a time that is most conducive to the peace process".

Just before last summer's election, Sir Keir said recognising Palestine as a state could jeopardise the UK's relationship with the US.

The US, under Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, have maintained a veto policy when it comes to recognising a Palestinian state at the UN Security Council.
However, Sir Keir Starmer had previously indicated he would not budge on the issue, saying he "very strongly" believes the only long-term solution to the Israel-Gaza conflict is a two-state solution.

Israel has really overplayed its hands. I can't believe they have managed the situation so badly that the tide is now turning in favour of Palestine.

France first, then UK, who is next?

They are still allies, but at some point they need to take a stand. The images and videos coming out of Gaza in the past few months are indefensible.

Even if the whole nations recognize their so called pally State. It is only in their imaginations.
The nations doing such are digging their own graves.

Endtimes Bible Prophecies MUST be fufilled.

GOD ALMIGHTY is making Jerusalem a Burdendome stone to the nations just as was Prophecied in the Bible.

After Gathering them ,THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL , THE ANCIENT, THE INVENTOR, CREATOR AND OWNER OF THE EARTH WILL RUTHLESSLY DEAL WITH THEM ALL.

Its so unfortunate that many inhabitants of the Earth do not know, read or Understand the word of GOD, THE BIBLE, Playing out right before us.
Unfortunately , due to lack of Knowledgeof GOD and His Word, Many will Fall Victims and Casulties of the Deceptions of the antichrist

Zechariah 12:1-4
The burden of the word of the Lord against Israel. Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him:

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem.

And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.

In that day,” says the Lord, “I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

The UK government should go and sleep somewhere. The resistance forces are ready to the last man standing.

UK government are now toothless and weak.

Meanwhile,
ISRAEL Foreign Ministry statement:

ISRAEL rejects the statement of the British Prime Minister.
The change in the British government's position at this time, following the French initiative and internal political pressures, is a reward for Hamas and harms efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and a framework for the release of hostages.

President Trump:

I have never discussed with Britain the recognition of the State of Palestine if Israel does not change its actions in Gaza, the US is "not in that camp"

I will deal with the points of food distribution in Gaza, together with Israel

You could say you are rewarding Hamas if you do this (recognize a Palestinian state), and I don't think Hamas should be rewarded. I'm not in that camp, honestly, because if you are in that camp you are rewarding Hamas, and I don't intend to do that.

This is full of hypocrisy.

The UK does not support Nigeria breaking but supports palestine.

The UK does not even condemn the killings going on in Nigeria by fulani herdsmen angry
